A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built in microwave oven combo offers the best of both worlds by connecting your microwave and oven into one unit. They can save space on your counters and give your kitchen a classy appearance.
These models come with powerful broilers, which cook food evenly. They also heat food quickly. These models offer a range of cooking options for different food items.
Size
Combining the convenience of a microwave oven and the flexibility of a wall oven with a built-in microwave and wall oven combination is an efficient solution for many kitchens. Explore our collection of wall ovens with combination microwaves to find the perfect fit for your home. Make sure you read the cutout specifications and the installation guide for your chosen unit to ensure that it is suitable in your space. Our microwave and oven sets include both oven and microwave models in a variety colors, styles and finishes that will match any decor. Also, look for features like intelligent and easy-to-use electronic controls, a power-cook feature and built-in self-cleaning options to help reduce time.
Convenience
A built-in microwave oven combo will save you space on your counters and give your kitchen a sleeker appearance. Since it functions as a microwave in addition to a traditional oven it is able to heat leftovers, frozen food items and pre-packaged meals in one appliance. It eliminates the need for separate countertop appliances or large wall ovens. A microwave-microwave combination can also be a good choice if you want to upgrade your kitchen without having to undergo any major remodeling projects.
You can find microwave ovens in a variety of styles to match the decor of your kitchen. Some microwave oven combos have doors that swing out right to left and others have drop-down designs that open in the same way as traditional ovens. There is also microwave ovens with an open-type drawer that opens as an open cabinet. The microwave drawers are easy to reach and are perfect for small spaces where you want to keep your microwave from taking up valuable counter space.
Combination microwaves are also equipped with various features that can make meal preparation easier and more practical. Certain models come with a sensor steam mode that adjusts the temperature and duration of your food automatically to ensure perfect steaming of your fish and vegetables. Other features include a broil element that allows you to quickly melt cheese or cook your favorite food, as well as Crispwave(tm) technology that can grill or bake food and make it crisp.
When choosing a microwave oven combination, you should take into consideration how often you'll use each function. If you will be using the oven more than the micro, you might prefer an extra wall oven. A combo appliance is smaller in capacity than an oven that is a standalone unit.
After you've picked the ideal microwave and oven combo for your needs, it's time to think about the installation. Over-the-range models mount over the stove or cooktop and connect to an electrical outlet, whereas built-in microwaves are inserted directly into cabinets or walls of your kitchen. integrated wall unit microwave include trim kits to make your microwave match your cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
A built-in microwave oven combo can provide an excellent space-saving option for those who have smaller kitchens, whether they live in a home or apartment. They can free up the space that would be taken up by separate appliances, and can also help reduce energy consumption. They generally provide a more efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens, because they use less energy. In addition, they can be used to cook both food and warm dishes, reducing the requirement for additional appliances, such as toasters or warming plates.
DOE conducts a variety of analyses when evaluating potential amendments to energy conservation standards. These include market and technology assessments, screening analyses, engineering analyses, and a national impact assessment (NIA). In this SNOPR DOE will utilize its engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the level of efficiency improvement is possible for this product category.
DOE will compare the design of a microwave to a set energy performance objectives in the engineering analysis. The engineering analysis will then determine the maximum improvement in energy efficiency that is technologically feasible based on the most advanced microprocessor-controlled model available on the market or in working prototypes, or the maximum reduction in energy consumption that is technically achievable with the current technologies available for this product class.
As part of the NIA, DOE will evaluate the effects on consumers for every product category, including lifecycle cost savings and simple payback time ("PBP"). DOE will utilize its Government Regulatory Impact Model with an adaptation for microwave ovens to calculate industry net present value ("NPV").
DOE will also examine the impact on manufacturers and will use an altered industry cash flow model specifically tailored to this type of product in order to estimate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also look at the impact of these proposals on small businesses as well as other subgroups of manufacturers to identify those that may be disproportionately affected.
In addition, DOE will consider whether the testing procedures for microwave ovens need to be revised to include active mode energy use and a possible integrated active mode energy use measure. Currently, the test protocols only deal with the standby mode power usage.
Design
Wall ovens depend on the circulating of hot air while microwaves use waves to cause water molecules in food to vibrate and produce heat. Combination wall units combine these two appliances into a single unit, which is ideal for securing space in the kitchen while providing a modern and sleek design. It is important to consider your budget and goals before deciding on a combination wall oven. A few of the combo wall ovens in our ratings have issues with performance or design.
